Blue Jays re-signed OF Ricardo Nanita to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Nanita, a career minor leaguer, hit .258/.312/.376 with six home runs and 25 RBI in 74 games last season between Double- and Triple-A. The 33-year-old will serve as organizational depth again in 2014. Mon, Jan 20, 2014 04:34:00 PM

Ricardo Nanita went 3-for-5 with two doubles Wednesday as the Dominican Republic beat the Yankees 8-2.

Left field is the big hole for the Dominican Republic with Jose Bautista absent, but Nanita had a better game than all of the team's All-Stars today. The 31-year-old Nanita hit .306/.353/.465 with 12 homers in 333 at-bats for Triple-A Las Vegas last season. It's not a bad line, but it's not very impressive after factoring in that Las Vegas is a terrific hitter's park. In 2011, Nanita hit .363/.416/.554 in 51 games for the same club, and he still wasn't taken very seriously as a minor league free agent. Wed, Mar 6, 2013 05:48:00 PM

The operation was expected and Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins confirmed that it took place. The surgery was expected to be an arthroscopic surgery to repair cartilage damage. Travis will be 100 percent for the beginning of spring training, barring any setbacks.

Pillar tore a thumb ligament in early August on a successful steal attempt. He returned a month later and played with the injury down the stretch. Pillar has already begun rehabbing and should be ready in plenty of time for spring training. The 27-year-old hit .266 with seven homers, 53 RBI, 35 doubles and 14 steals over 146 games this season.
